What medical bills really do to credit

The threat of credit damage is the pressure behind every collection call. This free guide shows how medical debt actually reaches a report, how to see what is really there, and the free dispute process for what is wrong.

You shouldn’t have to reconstruct a bill just because it reached your credit report.

See it in practice

Example bill: the original provider statement with a balance due of $532.65.

Example collection letter: a debt collector demanding an amount due of $780.00.

PatientStand collector check

The collector wants more than the original bill.

A demand isn’t right just because it comes from a collector. We check it against the real balance and prepare the response to the difference.

What PatientStand does differently

A person reads every line, not software.

One flat fee, never by the hour.

Plain language, answers within 48 hours.

Checked against the hospital's own published prices.

When you don't want to figure it out yourself

You can do all of this yourself. Or you can hand the hard part to us: we work out what is happening, what matters, and what to send, and prepare it for you to review and send in your own name.

The guide gets you this far

You know how the entry reached your report and how to dispute an error.

PatientStand takes it from here

We work backwards from the credit entry to the bill underneath it, check what actually happened, and prepare what needs sending. We don’t sell credit repair.

We take the hard part off your hands.
